"I find it amusing that most people state they don't like Mariah Carey, but like her song 'Hero." What is it people don't like, her image? Her singing style? I believe it was this hit single "Hero" which captured people's attention and held the lyrics a place in their hearts. These lyrics which Mariah wrote herself (yes, she does write her own songs) are incredible. There just isn't enough talent out nowadays to surpass this incredible single. It also became more popular last year because of 9/11/2001 (eat ur heart out enrique!)... I reccomend this single to anyone who is a fan of TRUE music, because "Hero" is meaningful enough to please even the most casual of Mariah Carey listeners. Believe me, 'Hero" is one of the 10 best songs ever written and will go down in history. Her vocal quality is at her best and she doesn't overuse her voice in this one like on some other songs (IE: Emotions). This single recieves an A+ for me and is for all Mariah and non Mariah fans alike!!"
Great single!

"Not only does this have the great single, "Hero," but a live version of the song, and one of Mariah's best songs ever, "Everything Fades Away" and it's only available on this single. I promise you, the song is amazing! If this wasn't enough, there's also the best remix of "Dreamlover" on here too. All of the ones on the maxi single are boring, but the Club Joint Mix rules. BUY THIS WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE!"
Its great.

"1. The LP version of hero, its a very good and inspirational song.
2. A live version of hero, I like it better than the original, she sings it just enough to make it sound different, still great.
3. Everything Fades Away, GREAT track. I suggest you buy it for this song, its the only place you can get it.
4. Dreamlover (club joint Mix) Its the best remix of this song that she has. She re-recorded it to a faster beat. Great track, this CD is highly recommended."
Good Maxi-Single!

"Ok here are the tracksHero(Album Version)-An excellent song that will go into history forever!Hero(Live Version)-I Was A Bit Dissapointed with this track. It sounds like the album version and some audience noises added. Not like a real live performance. But The Bridge is a bit different. But totally differnt from how she sings it live nowadays.Everything Fades Away - Oh my God! This is the reason i bought the cd! This is such a great song! It's much better than some songs on Music Box! It even has A little solo by Cory Rooney!Dreamlover(Club Joint Mix)-Possibly the best Dreamlover Remix! Its very refreshing from the Def Remixes on the Maxi-Single!Overall, they should have added at least one more song. And if u already have an albumn with hero you don't need the live version. But Evertytrhing Fades Away and the Dreamlover(Club Joint Mix) make up for it."

"I love Mariah Carey and all her albulms. I just bought her new album "# 1." Gosh it's a great album and I love the song "I Still Believe," because I just can't get enough of Mariah's beautiful voice. I wish I could have her voice but too bad I don't. Mariah Carey is one of the best singers in the world and everyone should know that. I really think that everyone should buy her new album {# 1} because it has all of the good songs plus 3 new ones that I know will be at the #1 chart. If you people out there wanna support M.C. then now is your chance to do so. I have everyone of her albums and they are all great. Just to let you know, you should too. M.C. really is a great singer because her songs are inspiring and the lyrics are just so nice. My all time favorite song of M.C.'s is the song "Hero." It's the best cause it inspired me so much!! I'll always love Mariah Carey because she is the best singer there will ever be!!!!!!! Keep listening to Mariah and you'll know what I am talking about. So long for now!! P.S. M.C. Rulezzzz and Madonna Drools!!!!!!!!"
